Co-Designing Connected Communities, Bridging the Tech Divide
Description:
Establishing digital access and skills is imperative to success in today’s economy. Persistent gaps in access to technology and opportunities to develop digital skills exacerbate existing disparities, disproportionately impacting marginalized communities and people of color. Research shows the value of educators having lived experience, cultural and language competencies, and community trust. This panel will share the successes while exploring challenges of co-designing digital navigation services in established community-based organizations.
